El sur (1983)
The film of the ellipses
12 May 2024
It's the film of the ellipses: we don't see Agustín's lover, we don't witness the passage of time (the grown dog tells us), we can't see Carioco, we don't see the bride and groom or the wedding guests... But the very very great ellipse is the south itself, which is never seen and, however, it is always present: in the music (Andalusian dance, of Granados), in the speech of Rafaela Aparicio, in the letters and postcards, in the pasodoble "En er mundo", in the weather vane... It is an evocative and beautiful film.
Apparently, there should have been a second part, now at least in the south. But it turned out so round that it soon became evident that such a sequent was unnecessary. It's another ellipsis: the end of the story.
